From humble beginnings in Akron, Ohio, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company grew to become a global powerhouse in the transportation industry. Now the history of the company and its pioneering founder, Harvey Firestone, lives on through the Firestone Archives – one of the most robust corporate archives ever assembled. More than 120 years of chronicled history includes correspondence with U.S. Presidents, detailed journals of intimate friendships with innovation icons like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, photos and memorabilia from extreme glamping adventures, and a whole lot more. Join Gloria Caples, Firestone’s brand manager, Jennifer Andreola, lead archivist from History Factory, and THRIVE host Keith Cawley to learn about the importance of the Firestone Archives and what interesting items have been preserved.
